Reliability Engineer

Make the plant better. Permanently.

If you’re driven to eliminate chronic downtime—not just react to it—this is your role. As a Reliability Engineer, you’ll be a change agent on the factory floor, helping move the operation from reactive maintenance to stable, predictable, high-performing assets using TPM and reliability best practices.

This isn’t about fixing today’s breakdown. It’s about removing tomorrow’s failures.

? Cash-capable relocation assistance available


What You’ll Own

  • Lead reliability and maintenance strategies that reduce variation, downtime, and losses

  • Drive TPM, RCM, and continuous improvement across equipment, utilities, and processes

  • Analyze asset data and trends to eliminate repeat failures and improve OEE

  • Partner with Maintenance, Operations, and Quality to build a zero-loss mindset

  • Coach teams on root cause analysis, reliability tools, and proactive maintenance

  • Strengthen PM/PdM strategies, job planning, spare parts strategy, and CMMS usage (SAP)


What Makes You a Fit

  • Engineering background (Mechanical, Electrical, Reliability, or similar)

  • 5+ years in manufacturing reliability, maintenance, or engineering

  • Hands-on experience with TPM, CMMS, RCA, and continuous improvement

  • Strong data instincts—you ask why, not just what broke

  • Comfortable influencing across the floor, not hiding behind a desk


Why This Role Is Different

  • High visibility and real authority to drive change

  • Focused on long-term reliability, not daily firefighting

  • Strong leadership support for proactive maintenance

  • Competitive compensation, bonus potential, full benefits.  Base salary range is $90,000 – $115,000 with a 10% bonus.  In addition they offer medical, dental and vision coverage as well as others

  • Relocation support that can be taken as cash


If you want a role where your work actually sticks and the plant runs better because of you—this is it.

If you are interested in this position, please apply today.
